Happy Mother's Day

Today is a special day...but let's be honest, they all are with you in my life.  As I spend my first mother's day as your mother, I can't help but be filled with an overwhelming joy that brings tears to my eyes.  In your almost 8 months on this planet I have learned to love with a capacity I didn't know I had.  All it takes is one look from you:  one grin, one slobbery smirk and I know that all is right in my world.

When I count my blessings I count you every second of every day...my son, my love.

Happy Mother's Day to me.

Numbness stopped and the post numb tingles really hurt. I love you dear friend...Godspeed
